Why summit rhymes the way it does
To understand why summit rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the high /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 67, assonance 4,935, and consonance 62. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Summit rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
